Facing graduation from the School of Music at Fredonia State University outside of Buffalo, NY, many people ask Waterville native Eric Perry what his plans are at the completion of his undergraduate studies. His response to such questions simply remains, “music, wherever it will take me.” Perry has been writing music since the age of 14 and has causally pursued performance of his original music in the Western New York region; his music being defined as “acoustic folk-rock with theatric vocal presence.” While studying opera and performing classical repertoire he continued to write and listen to music that he enjoys when not listening to Puccini or Bach. “It’s important to be honest to yourself or else you won’t have stories people will be interested in,” Perry states. “Those stories of my life and the lives of those around me can be more relevant to other people than some operas written over a century ago.”

Perry released his first album, “In Time (Everything Will Come)” in 2005 and has finished his next his work, “Change Is…” which is expected to be released for the public sometime in Fall of 2007. Produced by John Wantuch at recorded at the new state of the art facilities in Fredonia, Perry hopes this album will speak to those who are looking to find difference and acceptance within themselves. “The album really hits home to those who are battling insecurity but in a way that doesn’t make you feel crummy. Getting over things can be grueling but when it is said and done is very empowering.” "Change Is..." will also feature some friends which calls themselves The Digital Silence; Joe Pow (bass), Nick Fields (trumpet, aux percussion) and Jon Rizzo (drum set). "It's good to have friends with similar tastes in music and musicality." But don’t let the album content fool you. Whether strictly solo acoustic or with guest musicians, his live performances are energetic, quirky and entertaining-you should also expect his audiences to even participate in the music as well with an array of percussion instruments being tossed to you during select numbers. "Let's have some fun" Perry states in the opening of his performances. It is agreed by all that a fun time, indeed, is had.
